<p>Intra-Uterine Fetal Demise (IUFD) is defined as death of human conception at age 20 weeks’ gestation or older with a minimum 500-g birthweight before complete delivery from the mother and induced termination involved. In 2015, Indonesia has contributed stillbirth rate 13 out 1,000 total births in which 17.1% cases were caused by congenital anomalies. Hydrops pathological condition ther...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to identify the incidence of endolymphatic hydrops using 3-dimensional fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (3D-FLAIR) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the contralateral ear in patients with unilateral Ménière's disease (MD). MATERIAL AND METHODS This was a prospective study. 3D-FLAIR MRI was performed with a 3 Tesla (3 T) unit 24 h after the intratympan...

The development of an acute parvovirus B-19 infection during pregnancy can cause pregnancy complications ranging from early pregnancy loss to nonimmune hydrops. There is no treatment, but preventive measures can be used to decrease perinatal mortality. The diagnosis is made on the basis of clinical suspicion and serology. If the fetus exhibits hydrops in the latter part of pregnancy, the main t...

Hydrops fetalis is defined by the accumulation of fluids in serous membranes (pleurisy, ascites, pericarditis...), it a rare condition; its etiologies are divided into immunological and non-immunological. Supraventricular tachycardia remains known cause, non-immunological, but difficult to manage.
 In this article we report case newborn with hydrops secondary supraventricular tachycardia, ...

Introduction: Fetal hydrops is a serious condition which can be caused by immune and non-immune aetiologies. We aimed to review the management of fetal hydrops at our hospital. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review of all cases of fetal hydrops diagnosed in our institution from 2006 to 2013 was carried out. Results: Out of the 30 cases of fetal hydrops diagnosed antenatally, 17 were cas...

INTRODUCTION Recurrent non-immune fetal hydrops (NIH) has been reported in the literature but is a rare entity, with fewer than 6 reported cases so far. It has been postulated to be related to a recessive gene. CLINICAL PICTURE We report a case of recurrent fetal hydrops in a multigravida with no medical history of note. She presented in her current pregnancy with a significant history of hav...

Hydrops fetalis. M. J. Becker. Department of Morbid Anatomy, Wilhelmina Gasthuis, Amsterdam. Hydrops fetalis is characterized by an abnormal accumulation of serous fluid in the tissues and body cavities, and infants who show this condition are usually either stillborn or die soon after birth. Hydrops fetalis is not a symptom of a specific disorder, but can be caused by various diseases. In a se...

Hydrops foetalis is defined as a state of excessive fluid accumulation in the extravascular compartment of the foetus, leading to widespread soft tissue oedema and/or accumulation of fluid in the foetal body cavities. The prognosis of hydrops foetalis is highly dependent on the underlying pathology and early diagnosis is essential to identify treatable cases. The classification of immune and no...

HYPOTHESIS Triple semicircular canal occlusion will eliminate rotatory stimulation to the vestibular peripheral system (as it blocks endolymphatic fluid movement) and therefore release rotatory vertigo attack. This surgery is safe in ears with endolymphatic hydrops. BACKGROUND Semicircular canal occlusion has been used as an alternative treatment of intractable benign paroxysmal positional ve...

Magnetic resonance imaging enhances the clinical diagnosis of Menière's disease. This is accomplished by in vivo detection of endolymphatic hydrops, which are graded using different semi-quantitative grading systems. We evaluated an established, semi-quantitative endolymphatic hydrops score and with a quantitative method for volumetric assessment of the endolymphatic size. 11 patients with Meni...
